EXT. LARAMIE RIVER GREENBELT TRAIL - LARAMIE, WY - DAY
Wanda and Daisy dressed as previously on a tree-shaded bench near the paved trail along the river, down from the Laramie River Historic Bridge. Occasional BICYCLIST and PEDESTRIANS on the trail behind them. They stare at the river.
DAISY: You're going to miss our balmy winters.
Wanda chuckles.
WANDA: Balmy is the hundred and nine Ruth's thermometer showed yesterday.
DAISY: Thank goodness it's a dry heat like ours.
WANDA: Ninety percent humidity dry.
DAISY: Icky sticky. How cold does it get in Kerrville?
WANDA: Cold enough but nothing like here. Light snow very infrequently. You'd like it.
Wanda's PHONE RINGTONES the Willie Nelson instrumental, Bandera. She gets phone from purse, answers.
WANDA (CONT.): Hey girl.
Yes I've heard the news. I'm with Daisy on that bench on the river trail about to begin the pitch to get her to move to Kerrville.
(This surprises Daisy.)
Certainly looking forward to hearing more tonight. I wonder if Gil knows.
Well send it.
K.
(Wanda hands phone to Daisy.).
It's Ruth.
DAISY: Hey sweetheart.
I'm fine, blessed in the good hands of your sister-in-law. Now waiting for this pitch about Kerrville. How are you?
Well good.
Okay.
Love you too, angel.
Bye.
(She hands phone to Wanda.)
WANDA: So let's facetime tomorrow. I need to see your beautiful visage.
Love you, too.
(She puts phone in purse, points to a male and female mallard duck in the river. They watch them go downstream)
DAISY: May I ask what the news your heard is?
WANDA: Oh, Tom's layover in Las Cruces. I scream?
DAISY: You scream?
WANDA/DAISY: We all do for ice cream.
They stand and walk arm in arm to the trail.
